Lord's Chess is a general term for a large category of board games, which is quite popular in this world. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the most complex of which is almost equivalent to the role-playing board game on Earth, and the most confrontational is close to chess, and now the Countess and Magellan play one of the simplest ones: sheep and wolves.

On a rectangular board with five squares and six squares, three pieces represent wolves and fifteen pieces represent sheep, and two players move the pieces in turn, one square at a time, so that the wolf can jump over the sheep in the four squares next to it to eat it, and the two sheep can eat the wolf sandwiched in the middle.

The countess put only one wolf on the chessboard, which in Magellan's opinion was absolutely blatant contempt.

"Is there a clue to that supernatural power?"

"Nope. ”

"No way, we know that the evil god exists, it has been destroyed, there must be a transcendent power there. Magellan lowered his voice, and when he was excited, it sounded sharp.

"I advise you to forget about those, Professor Magellan. ”

"Ah, I, uh, well, you have a point. Can I read the Book of the Sun? ”

"Patients need rest, you should learn to enjoy the tranquility. ”

"Are you really that sure you don't have what you want in the Book of the Sun?"

"No, I'm pretty sure that the Book of the Sun is what I want. The countess was rightly surprised at this brainless question.

"From the beginning of the construction of a city by an evil god, it means that it is not old enough to determine the existence of an ancient empire. And I'm afraid the really old accounts have been deleted by the monotheistic cults that worship the sun, right?"

"No, that's enough, this book made of stone is unprecedented, just let people know, then my purpose has been achieved. ”

"You're underestimating the so-called, people, they don't have to run on their own, and that's not exciting enough. ”

"If, as you say," laughed the countess, "the people are not satisfied, I may tell you my true purpose...... To ask for your help. ”

"You lost. ”

Magellan looked at the fifteen captured pieces on the side of the chessboard and sighed helplessly.

"You can come to me at any time, not to ask for my help, but to allow me to join you in your adventures. ”

"I won't let you go on any adventure, Professor Magellan. ”

"Guess why I didn't become a professor until today? My talent hasn't gotten stronger since I was three years old. ”

"Hmm...... You grew up in a church orphanage on the outskirts of King's Port, and let me guess that your guardian, a certain nun, happens to know nothing about your talents, and doesn't know what is really good for you. ”

"She's not that good, but she's not that bad either. I chose my life. ”

"You have a special look on your face when you hear someone call you a professor, and I wish you could see it. The hardest thing to convince is yourself, do you really feel like you're willing to give up everything in order to take a risk? ”

"Are you trying to convince me?"

"No, I'm telling you that you should accept reality. ”

......

Magellan's injuries recovered quickly, much sooner than he expected.

From the time he could walk, he ran to join the work of translation, and was soon overwhelmed by countless ancient characters.

The excavation of the ruins continues, and the expedition finds the real body of the building from where they came out, an inverted pyramid-shaped city is slowly emerging from the ground, and a large number of new records are being discovered every day.

Combined with the records of the Book of the Sun, they finally knew where this relic came from.

About three hundred years after the establishment of the empire of the sun-worshipping ********, the supernatural power, the evil god, was discovered, and he controlled the minds of the people and allowed them to build a city of grandeur and splendor, and the temple in the center was the abode of the evil god.

The Empire's monotheistic cult was furious with this, and the Great Shaman of the time came to the city of the evil god with the extraordinary power "Sun", defeated the evil god in one fell swoop, and smashed the entire city into the ground.

The evil god did not die, and it was very difficult to completely destroy a supernatural power, but the empire did not give up. They built an inverted pyramid-shaped complex on top of the city of the evil gods, placed the sun at the bottom, closest to the evil gods, and then held a grand sacrifice every ten years, and according to calculations, after six sacrifices, the evil gods would be completely destroyed.

Because the sun had to stay here, the temple became the most important religious site in the Empire, and although the worship was only once every ten years, most of the time it was still full of crowns.

The Book of the Sun is written up to the time of the last sacrifice, and the main content includes descriptions of evil gods, mostly curses, descriptions of the sun, full of religious praises, and detailed records of the sacrifice process, which should only be seen by the great shamans, and are very precious.

Like any religious canon, this "tome" contains myths and legends, historical stories, literary works, and philosophical ideas, and is an encyclopedia that will fascinate anyone who reads it.

Everyone, the people involved in the translation, were very excited, including Magellan.

He is now the core of the out-and-out core, and some even jokingly renamed the Book of the Sun to the Book of Magellan.

Of course, Magellan cleverly proposed to change it to the Book of Helen, which was supported by everyone.

All went well, and Magellan completely forgot about supernatural powers, until the white hat appeared in front of him again.

"Gukwa's family is fine, I take care of him, and the new chief is his friend. White Hat said as he took out the snake bone lamp, "His family asked me to give this to you, thank you for bringing back his news and letting us know that he died like a hero." ”

Magellan sighed, didn't say anything, and took the lamp.

"Thank you. ”

The white hat nodded and left.

Magellan didn't know if the White Hat had come to the Countess or to him, but he was too excited to care about that.

He took the oil lamp in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, unable to believe what had just happened.

According to the Book of the Sun, after the sacrifice is completed, the evil god is gone, and the sun will return to the capital of the empire, where it will lodge in an oil lamp in the process.

The oil lamp had to be made of snake bones, and the moment the evil god was defeated, the sun would leave, and if there was no such lamp nearby, no one would know where it would go, and if there was an oil lamp nearby, the sun would definitely stay on it.
